WEEKDAY CHAMPAGNE BALLOONING IN STAFFORDSHIRE

Hot air balloon flight

A champagne hot air balloon flight from Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire, weekdays only (excluding bank holidays). A once in a lifetime experience accompanied by champagne that you can't afford to miss out on.

What's included

Fly with us from Shugborough Hall, the ancestral home of Lord Lichfield. This magnificent estate, owned by the National Trust is an attraction in itself.

As we take to the skies you will see the 26 square miles of the outstanding Cannock Chase. Once the hunting ground of Henry VIII this area of outstanding natural comes alive from the air.

Few can resist the attraction as one hundred feet of wispy nylon majestically rises with the dragon-like roar of the burners. As you take off you'll be more aware of the ground dropping away than of any sensation of movement or rising. The feeling of peace and tranquillity is heightened by the apparent lack of wind - because you're moving with it.

The Tapestry Below

Once in the air, your balloon travels up to heights of several thousand feet, allowing you to gaze down upon villages, towns and the countryside. The 'miniature' people and cars scattered seemingly at random across the ground below look as if they've fallen from a toy box.

Picture This

The supremely steady balloon basket provides an excellent vantage point for aerial photography. This un-missable opportunity to record your trip is heightened by the ability of the pilot to turn the balloon using the 'rotation vents' - thus providing you with a truly panoramic view as you float through the air.

Wild Thing

You'll also have a good chance of spotting wildlife, particularly on morning flights. Views depend entirely on the wind direction on the day, which means every flight is a unique experience.

All Good Things....

We round off every balloon flight with a champagne toast and a commemorative flight certificate presentation, making the occasion even more memorable and ensuring that the experience is one that will stay with you for years to come.
